Alliance Academy is Super Y League's 19th ranked club!

October 21st, 2008

GRAND RAPIDS, MI- After a modestly successful season on the field, it was difficult to judge how the Alliance Academy organization stacked up against the 100+ Super Y League Clubs across the country.  The verdict is in-  Alliance Academy is the 19th best club in the Super Y League for 2008.  The ranking is thanks to the United Soccer Leagues effort to rank and recognize the top performing clubs in the Super Y League.   Using a formula that includes administration and winning percentage along with other factors.  Link to USL Rankings.

"We had it as a goal early on to show our players a true commitment to training and do our best as an organization in order to be prepared for the season," Alliance Academy administrator Tara Fiztsimmons said.  "As it turned out, much of our hard work translated to on field success and we are thrilled to be named along with the top clubs in the country!"

Being ranked 19th also means that the Alliance Academy is (unofficially) the top 1st year club in the country! It recently came to our attention that the Fort Wayne Fever participated in the United Soccer Leagues (PDL and W League) for a number of years but, had not placed any teams in the Super Y League.
